I started work in welfare office, worked out quickly I was a lousy clerk but loved helping people, after a year parleyed that into working at a group home, that became a better gig as a youth worker, at 35 I should have gone to school part time to get a degree and become either a social worker or teacher but in truth while that is the natural career path both those jobs are just glorified clerks so I avoided them like the plague and went into contract foster care instead, I'm good at what I do, love it and have the added benefit of knowing its important work.

You're not grinding them up for meat are you? I've eaten British food...its questionable...
